There are quite a number of bugs, either compile time or runtime, that can be spotted and reported to upstream (and hope that they get fixed) in Turkish locale and I posted on my dev blog why[1] this happens. I choose to translate the messages after the build.log if I reproduce the bug only in Turkish locale. If our bug reporting guide is not guiding people (yeah people don't read docs and especially ones that are longer than a paragraph and in a language that they can't read) portage could say a few words on sending the bug report in English if it spots another locale with the exception of the bug being a locale specific issue.
